Harold MacAskill, d.~ 1927 Fall River MA

Looking for info on Harold MacAskill (perhaps also spelled McAskill), who died as a result of injuries sustained in a vehicle accident about 1927 in Fall River or New Bedford, Massachusetts. Mechanic and man of many other trades, also reputed to have been a rumrunner with his own specially adapted boat. Harold was unhappily married to Mae Skeels and had three children with her, Harold Daniel McAskill (b. 1914, living, my dad), Virginia McAskill Thompson Peel (1916-1997), and Pauline McAskill Cane (b. 1919, living). Appreciate any info on the elder Harold or his forbears.
